EBDB • Setup Guide

The Extron EBDB is an eBUS

signal distribution hub for use with eBUS-enabled IP Link

Pro control processors. It includes ten

eBUS ports, connected in parallel, which allows each port to act as an input or an output for communication between IPCPPro

control processors and other eBUS devices. A front panel LED indicates when power is present on one or more of the ports.

The EBDB does not need to be set up. Other components of an eBUS-enabled system (an IPCPPro control processor and eBUS

peripheral products such as EBPs [eBUS button panels]) must be configured using Extron Global Configurator (GC) software (in

GCProfessional or GCPlus mode), which is available at www.extron.com.

Figure 3. eBUS Wiring for a System with Two Power Sources

Installation

1. Mount the EBDB and the IPCPPro to the rack or furniture (see Mounting on page3).

2. Connect the EBDB and any eBUS endpoint devices to each other in a daisy-chain or a star arrangement. Wire both ends of

each cable the same (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, and so forth).

3. Connect the IPCPPro to the EBDB, making sure that both ends of the cable are wired the same.

NOTE: See the attention information in figure 3 so you do not connect the power pins (labeled V+) on the EBDB to two

powered devices. Power should be supplied to the EBDB by only one source.

4. Connect power to the devices, connect the IPCPPro to a network, and set up the IPCPPro and its connected eBUS

endpoint devices.

Additional Instructions, Information, and Assistance

• Instructions on configuration are available in the user and setup guides for the IPCPPro control processor and for the eBUS

endpoints, and in the Global Configurator Help file. The Global Configurator Help file includes an introduction to the software

and how to start a GC project, as well as instructions on configuration.

• See the user guides for each eBUS product for details about eBUS addresses and about firmware updates.

• Software, help files, and guides are all available at www.extron.com.

• If you have questions during installation and setup, call the ExtronS3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline or the Extron S3

Control Systems Support Hotline (1.800.633.9877).

See the eBUS Technology Reference Guide for information

about daisy chain and star topographies.

Mounting

You can mount an EBDB to the following items:

• tabletop

• optional equipment rack shelf

• equipment rack (using mounting brackets)

• furniture (using a mounting kit)

Optional mounting kits (see the following table) are available.

Read the instructions and UL guidelines that come with any

mounting kit for installation procedures.

Using the ZipClip 200

Attaching and Removing the Clip and EBDB

To attach the EBDB to the ZipClip 200 mounting clip:

1. Insert the bottom of the EBDB down into the clip,

starting with one end.

2. Pivot the other end down and press until the clip snaps

into place.

To remove the EBDB from

the ZipClip:

1. Press the tab on

the ZipClip.

2. Pivot the EBDB

and lift it out

of the

ZipClip.

Using Tie Wraps for Cable Strain Relief

1. Attach the EBDB to the ZipClip 200 mounting clip as

described previously.

2. Fasten the cables to the ZipClip base.

a. Insert tie wraps (which are also called “zip ties”)

along the notches on the side of the EBDB and

through the tie wrap anchor points on the ZipClip,

then around the cord.

b. Connect and pull the tie wraps until they are

secure. Do not over tighten.

Rack Mounting

Mounting to a Rack Shelf

The EBDB is one quarter rack wide. Up to four EBDBs can

be mounted side by side directly onto a rack shelf.

1. Align the threaded holes in the bottom of the EBDB

with the holes in an Extron rack shelf and fasten the

unit to the shelf with two screws as shown below.
